It's an international week and you know what that means? MLS doesn't take a break like nearly every other major soccer league in the world. MLS squads, already thin, get even thinner if they have any national teamers on the squad.

That, however, is of no concern to this man to the right who is of the "less is more" opinion. At least when clothes are concerned. Thankfully, Wemberley fans won't have to deal with those sweet mankinis during the England-Kazakhstan qualifier. Authorities will arrest all fans sporting the Borat costume at Wembley.

After the jump, some select World Cup qualifier matches and some MLS matches. Play in the comment sandbox.

The second 15 sees Scotland looking a lot better. There have been some good runs, but the final ball has been poor. Norway have settled into a counterattack mindset, and still look dangerous to nick one, as Scotland's backline has not been sharp.

say 'my name is borat' without the accent. not so funny now is it? add that to the fact his entire act is a blatant ripoff of the old python hungarian phrase book sketch; and i want to punch him in the face.

would be nice to see scotland get a win here especially at the expense of riise

in the 45th, Morrison heads over from 3 yards out. He can also be said to have blown a good chance about 20 minutes earlier when, sent in alone by Fletcher, he put an 8 yard pass about 3 feet behind McFadden.

"John Arne Riise manages to land a shot in the first row of the crowd - which is some feat at Hampden Park. The former Liverpool defender looks to have injured himself in the process, and I'm not surprised. "

Anyone who has played has had those type of misses. Just usually they are not on your national debut, 10 minutes after coming on. Oh, and the home fans booed the fact that the manager took off the guy you replaced. Bad juju for Mr. Iwelumo, unfortunately. Doubt he'll see the pitch again next game.

and frankly, slow roasting ribs in a bath for four or five hours is a much better way of cooking them than grilling them. you preserve so much more of the juice, dont char the outside at all, and can infuse them with infinitely more flavors in the bath.
